Running With Scissors – by Wayne Cavanaugh
By now, we’ve all heard about the horrific and heart-wrenching incident of a young dog dying in a noose on a grooming table, even while being attended to by someone. Stories and rumors quickly circulated, as expected. But no one really knows all of the facts and circumstances until it’s thoroughly investigated–hopefully without bias. We can only hope the process works, justice is fairly served, and thoughtful discussions bring positive change. For now, one thing is clear—we hurt for the dog, his owners, and the sport.
Table Talk • October 7, 2026
I am writing this column as I travel home from the greatest terrier show in the world, and I couldn’t be happier. Montgomery Week has become one of my favorite events of the year! I am fortunate to be able to attend this special cluster and share it with those who are unable to attend. […]
From The Publisher – More Shows and Shrinking Entries
While sitting ringside watching Irish Setters–with a total entry of seven–the discussion among the group sitting there turned to the low number of entries in most breeds we see at dog shows. Some said the problem is too many dog shows, while others blamed it on poor judging and/or seeing the same judges in the ring week-in and week-out across the country. One person chimed in and said it’s becoming too expensive to go to multi-day dog show clusters every week or two. I said, “You are all right. Everything you just mentioned is the reason for declining entries at shows, in my opinion.”

From The CC Vault: Creating a Positive Atmosphere
While flying to an event in Dallas, I read an article in the Delta Sky magazine about Mr. James Corden. I hardly ever read anything in a ‘Sky’-type magazine but I love James Corden so I dove right into the article. It talked about his explosive start on late night TV and how he didn’t re-invent the genre as much as created an atmosphere. He allowed his guests to trust him. I started thinking and realized that this would make a great topic for an article in The Canine Chronicle.
